Product Description
Finally reunited with their original singer Michael Sadler, the band is stronger than ever. 20/20 has all that it takes to become an instant progressive rock classic.
The album features 10 brand new songs, never missing the distinctive sound of SAGA's legendary hits. With striking keyboard sounds and Michael Sadler's stunning
vocals, the album has all that it takes to become an instant fan favorite as well as a worldwide classic songs. The opener Six Feet Under features a dominant keyboard
sound, roaring guitars and a chorus you can't get out of your head. Followed by the catchy, high energy driven Anywhere You Wanna Go , SAGA clarifies that their original trademark sound is still going strong. The emotional ballad Lost For Words once again demonstrates Sadler's incredible vocal range and charisma.
The title 20/20 first of all refers to the album being the 20th of SAGA, but in addition it's a good luck wish to Jim Gilmour, who had to undergo an eye operation during
SAGA's latest European tour. 20/20 stands for the perfect eyesight.

(BALTIMORE, MD, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: 20/20 (MP3 Music) Albeit the year 2012, you would think we were all transported back to 1979 or 1980 with Saga's latest incarnation "20/20." Do not take this as a negative critique though. The majority of the most recent studio tracks could easily have been B-Sides from either the "Silent Knight" or "Images at Twilight" albums. Some fans say that this sound is old and they need to "evolve" with time. Well, remember when they did that in the late 1980's and the early 1990's? The results were less than memorable. I have each of their studio albums and for my money; their staple sound established in the late 1970's and early 1980's is the sound I prefer. When Saga creates sounds, melodies, drum beats, synthesizer crescendos and soaring guitar riffs that echo those of yesteryear, that is the place I want to be when I listen to their newer works. Obviously, the return of Sadler is no doubt a crucial element in the return to their iconic sound. Journey without Steve Perry and Yes without Jon...

Its great to have Michael Sadler back as the lead singer after taking a one album break from the band... This new cd is the best work the band has done since Worlds Apart!!! Musically, the band is better than ever...Of course there is a strong keyboard presence with Sadler back in the fold, but this is the best that Ian Crichton has sounded on Guitar since the aforementioned Worlds Apart album... Crichton totally just tears it up on this album...Saga isn't usually known for a lot of guitar solos, but 20/20 has lots of them and they are all great!!! The album starts off rockin' and ends rockin'...A couple of ballads thrown in for good measure but they are far from filler....If this Saga album would have been released in the 80's it would have sold at least a million copies!!!! Yes, it is that good!!! If you are a fan of the band this is a Must Have for your collection....If you are not a Saga fan, this would be an Awesome time to get on the...

Once more, SAGA pays tribute to the 1921 Physics Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein. This time though, it is not via a distinctly marked musical Chapter but with a portrait, a play on the album title and the recognized vision of this German genius.
